So it seems we’re in general consensus that current F1 sucks. Some of us have been watching it for 60 years (cLyDe!!), I’ve been in it for a little over 20 (wow!). Tons of things have come and gone and it’s easy to list all the issues that have adversely affected development, action or audience size in some way.

 

But I’m curious: If each of you had to pick ONE thing you could reverse/change in F1 to bring back some interest for you personally, what would it be?

 

For me: Refueling. Primarily because it’s the one piece of strategy that no one knew ahead of the race. If you qualified well, was it because you had a great car/setup, or almost no fuel load? Or both? As a fan, if you’re team was doing badly, you could hang on to your hope that the other teams were running light and would have to stop again or risk dying on track. If you were doing well, you were still biting your fingernails that it wasn’t YOUR team that was running light and might have to stop again or risk running dry. The era of splash-n-gos, occasional stuck fuel rigs, occasional fires, occasional driving out of the pits dragging your fuel rig and maybe your fuel guy behind your car – I miss it all. I certainly didn’t like it when crew was injured in refueling issues, but it made them a deeper part of the risk-reward system that racing has been slowly losing as it becomes sanitized for everyone’s protection. It was the one thing you could always root for to scramble a parade. Now gone…

 

Next!
